Guinn, Lady Bulldogs tumble Highlanders
By Tim Chambers
Cloudland tried to play like the "Grinch" and steal one away from Hampton, but the Lady Bulldogs weren't about to let Christmas come early.
Proving to be a "mean one," the 'Dogs broke a 3-3 tie in the fourth inning with a pair of runs that led to their 6-3 victory over the Lady Highlanders in Roan Mountain on Tuesday.
It was a good win according to assistant coach Tracy Ward, who guided the team on Tuesday. She feels like the Lady Bulldogs can compete with any team on their schedule.

Another conference center could be joining the Hampton Roads race for space in the near future, according to a proposal to the facility and two hotels along Norfolk's waterfront.
I point out the competition surrounding this project because there are at least six other conference centers in Hampton Roads.
My colleague Joe Lawlor did some legwork on the topic last June. He found the existing facilities in the area are already siphoning business from each other.
From his June 24 acticle:
"Heywood Sanders, a professor at the University of Texas-San Antonio, has spent much of his career studying conference and convention centers. He said they're a bad deal for taxpayers. Local governments have been building conference and convention centers at a furious pace over the past 20 years, he said, with the recession acting as the only brake. Sanders said the same mistakes are 'repeated endlessly' throughout the country, as many communities build conference and convention centers despite the lack of demand"
The latest proposal comes from Harvey Lindsay and would ask for taxpayer funds for the project. From the Virignian-Pilot:
"Harvey Lindsay would ask the city to pay for most of the $65 million conference center, a cost the city has agreed to pay in previous agreements with developers.
The facility would be financed without raising taxes, the proposal indicates. The City Council began to set aside meals and hotels taxes in 2003 to pay for the center and has $15 million in the fund, according to the proposal. Harvey Lindsay would recruit a corporate sponsor to pay $6.5 million for the conference center's naming rights, according to the proposal."
The signs point to Hampton Roads having enough conference center space even though long-term trends show attendance at conferences and conventions sharply declining.
Governments in the region have invested more than $385 million in conference and convention centers since the late 1990s. In addition to Hampton and Newport News, the $207 million Virginia Beach Convention Center opened in 2007, and taxpayer-financed conference centers were built in Portsmouth and Chesapeake, according to Lawlor's report.
Will a conference center and hotels along Norfolk's waterfront markedly improve the aesthetics of the area, yes. But those improvements sure do come with a hefty price tag and an uncertain future.

The HHS Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents has updated the guideline recommendations on integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based regimens for HIV-infected, treatment-naive individuals. To view the revised recommendations, please click here.
(Last updated:1/10/2011; last reviewed:1/10/2011)
Panel's Recommendations
Approximately 5%–10% of HIV-infected persons also have chronic HBV infection, defined as testing positive for HBsAg for more than 6 months [1]. The progression of chronic HBV to cirrhosis, end-stage liver disease, and/or hepatocellular carcinoma is more rapid in HIV-infected persons than in persons with chronic HBV alone [2]. Conversely, chronic HBV does not substantially alter the progression of HIV infection and does not influence HIV suppression or CD4 cell responses following ART initiation [3-4]. However, several liver-associated complications that are ascribed to flares in HBV activity, discontinuation of dually active ARVs, or toxicity of ARVs can affect the treatment of HIV in patients with HBV coinfection [5-7]. These include the following:
Recommendations for HBV/HIV-Coinfected Patients
Preferred regimen. The combination of TDF + FTC or TDF + 3TC should be used as the NRTI backbone of a fully suppressive ARV regimen and for the treatment of HBV infection [17-19] (AII).
Alternative regimens. If TDF cannot safely be used, entecavir should be used in addition to a fully suppressive ARV regimen (AII); importantly, entecavir should not be considered to be a part of the ARV regimen [20] (BII). Due to a partially overlapping HBV-resistance pathway, it is not known if the combination of entectavir + 3TC or FTC will provide additional virologic or clinical benefit compared with entecavir alone. In persons with known or suspected 3TC-resistant HBV infection, the entecavir dose should be increased from 0.5 mg/day to 1 mg/day. However, entecavir resistance may emerge rapidly in patients with 3TC-resistant HBV infection. Therefore, entecavir should be used with caution in such patients with frequent monitoring (~ every 3 months) of the HBV DNA level to detect viral breakthrough. Other HBV treatment regimens include peginterferon alfa monotherapy or adefovir in combination with 3TC or FTC or telbivudine in addition to a fully suppressive ARV regimen [17, 21-22]; however, data on these regimens in persons with HIV/HBV coinfection are limited (BII). Due to safety concerns, peginterferon alfa should not be used in HIV/HBV-coinfected persons with cirrhosis.

Seven Saddle-Fit Points that Every Rider Should Know
Tuesday 07 May 2013
Master Saddle Deborah Witty explains seven saddle-fit points so you can become an informed consumer.
How many times have you heard the phrase "saddle-fitting nightmare?" The frustration of having you and your horse uncomfortable, not performing well or experiencing pain because your saddle does not fit can be quite overwhelming and even debilitating.
Saddle fitting is an integral piece of a large puzzle. These puzzle pieces consist of your support system: your veterinarian, farrier, dentist, body worker, trainer, saddle fitter and most of all, the rider. These professionals can help to assess the behavior and performance of your horse. A horse with a saddle-fitting problem may exhibit or start to display new behaviors while being groomed and saddled, such as pinned ears, biting, kicking and girthiness. We regularly see the horse sore in his back as compensation for other problems. That is why a whole horse evaluation is imperative to evaluate and eliminate each point of concern.
When choosing a saddle fitter look for word-of-mouth referrals, a Society of Master Saddlers (SMS) of England Qualified Saddle Fitter or a fitter who works for a reputable company. Check them out by interviewing them on the phone asking them how they conduct their business, what they charge when evaluating a saddle that is not their own brand and listen to the questions they ask. A fitter's responsibility is to educate you without automatically condemning your saddle and trying to sell you a new one. Find a fitter who will evaluate your saddle objectively and if possible, help you to make your current saddle fit to the best of the ability of that saddle. The fitter should explain your options thoroughly. It may be you need to use shims or a fleece pad as a temporary method of making your horse level in his body or comfortable.
I recommend a wool-flocked saddle for your horse's comfort. To keep your saddle in top condition, which means level in the panels, balanced for horse and rider and the wool well-organized, I suggest routine servicing. The more miles you have in the saddle the sooner it may need servicing to keep it at top performance. If you ride 2-3 times a week you may only need to have your saddle serviced once a year. Full-time riders may need servicing every 6-9 months. A horse that is coming back from a layoff, is in a new training program or has had significant weight changes may need servicing after three months. Be a thinking consumer: Routine flocking maintenance may be all that you need, or you may need to have all the wool replaced.
On a routine basis do quick safety checks. This will include a quick tug on the nylon where the billets are connected, checking the stitching that attaches your billets and looking for cracking or tearing on the billets. The same general review of the stitching and leather is important for your stirrup leathers and girth, where you should assess the strength of the elastic as well.
If your saddle takes a fall, with or without your horse, check your tree for soundness by putting the back of the saddle against the front of your hips. Hold the saddle on each side of the pommel and pull toward you listening for the rivets in the head plate to squeak or pop as well as observing the seat leather for slight, even wrinkling. If you notice any unusual noises coming from your saddle you will want to have your saddle evaluated by a Master Saddler.
In the year 2000 I was tested and became a Qualified Saddle Fitter with the Society of Master Saddlers of England. During the process of becoming an SMS fitter we were introduced to the seven points of saddle fitting. This system of check points is without the weight of the rider, minus the girth or pad, with your hand applying firm centered pressure straight down to the pommel or center of the saddle:
1. Gullet Width
2. Adequate Clearance through the Pommel
Girthed with the saddle pad they'll use and the rider mounted, the wool will compress. Start warming up at a walk. Keep your eye on how quickly the wool is compressing when mounted--we are seeking clearance maximum of three fingers or 2 1/4 inches, minimum of two snug fingers with stable compressed wool. Another consideration is the conformation of the horse: Usually, the more angular the horse the more attentive you need to be so that the withers are not exposed to pressure (and the more often the saddle may require re-flocking). The round-bodied horse does not have the same concerns with pressure on the top of the withers.
3. Angle of Tree Matches Angle of the Horse's Body
4. Point Pressure
5. Balance of Saddle
6. Panel Coverage
To evaluate bridging: With one hand applyingweight to the center of the seat of the saddle, use the other hand between the panel and the horse's back to check for smooth, even contact. To evaluate the difference between bridging and room for the horse to lift, first note the amount of lift the horse will exhibit during a slight belly lift in the area of gaping. Also, checking the sweat or dirt pattern on a clean white pad will give you a wonderful opportunity to assess the entire fit.
During bridging the saddle panel creates pressure on each side of a hollow spot where the panel does not lie evenly on the horse's back. The void will be noted primarily in the center of the panel length-wise. This situation will occur with a horse with a curvy or low back that doesn't lift through the center of his back significantly and has a saddle panel that is very flat. This will create a gaping hole between the panel and the back of the horse. Another source of bridging is when the saddle is placed or slides forward; there will be an enormous hollow at the base of the withers. After confirming that you have the correct tree, the solution here is to fix the forward movement of the saddle.
Bridging will create pressure that will exaggerate the low spot as the horse tries to escape the discomfort. The horse will then experience muscle atrophy. Just remember there can be a bit of room, approximately enough to stick the tips of your fingers in, but not up to your middle knuckles. However, if you fill that easement in you can make the panel actually create a great deal of pressure. Sometimes the curviness in the horse's back will lift to fit a flat panel very well. A high percentage of the time if the panel is flocked to accommodate the static fit (standing) curviness of the horse's back, the saddle will not be stable and the horse will become sore when he moves.
To evaluate rocking: Place your fingertips on the pommel and cantle, applying light weight to each at the same time. Then create more weight first on the pommel then on the cantle. The saddle will rock like the rockers on a rocking chair. This will be your regular observation of a saddle that rocks--the panel is too round, curvy or sausage-like in those critical areas. The tree may be too curvy and the panel is not properly designed to accommodate a normal back. A large percentage of the time the saddle will need to be flattened and softened through the waist, at the back of the flap. Upon palpation you will be able to detect discomfort at the back of the shoulder blade and usually at the back of the flap through the waist. Sometimes you will find broken hairs and friction spots. This is created from the saddle rocking to the back and shoving forward and bumping behind the shoulder blades.
7. 18th Rib
Palpate until you find the back of the rib cage. Gently follow the rib cage up toward the spine. Depending upon how much flesh the horse carries, you may have to estimate the angle of how the rib ties into the spine. The back of the panel should not extend beyond the 18th rib due to lack of structural (rib cage) support.
After completing the seven steps the saddle now must be evaluated with the saddle pad, girth and the rider in the saddle. It is time to observe how the locomotion of the horse affects the saddle and the rider as well as how the saddle affects the movement of the horse and the ability of the rider to ride effectively.
We are seeking balance, straightness and stability as the horse works through the warm up, the body of the work and cool down, tracking left and right. Once again have an assistant check for adequate clearance so that the saddle is not interfering and creating undo pressure. Often if the rider tests the space under the pommel mounted, the pommel will crush down as the rider leans forward.
At times the saddle may not be perfectly straight because of weakness or training challenges but we are looking for the saddle to continue to return to straightness as we change the exercise or rein. The most difficulty will be in canter because it is the most complex gait to keep the horse straight, control the outside shoulder and lifting through his body evenly on both sides, especially on circles.
The balance of the saddle is indicated by the proper alignment of the rider's body and the fact that the rider can easily stay over their leg. Saddle stability can be noted when there is excessive bouncing in the back of the saddle, especially in rising trot.
The purpose of this article is not to give you the education that is required to become a saddle fitter, but rather to give you enough insight into the process of saddle fitting so that you can become an informed consumer, an advocate for your horse and a more complete horseman.

The door of the bathroom going to the corridor is not secured at all while the door of the bedroom to be opened with the house key. I have told the owner, he seemed to have listened to me but nothing is done, I had to place a chair behind the door just in case.... There was also no WiFi as said. Think twice of going back.

Why the New 8000 Series Samsung Plasma TV Is Better Than 4K
By David Richards & John Archer Trusted Reviews | Monday | 01/07/2013
A few weeks ago in New York, a bunch of professional TV sales and technical staff conducted their annual big screen TV review and for the first time a 4K TV was included in the review process. Among the TVs put under the microscope was the new Samsung 64" 8500 plasma TV. The final result surprised a lot of people, especially as the screen was compared with a new Sony 4K TV.

Joe Cocker - one of the truly great rock voices of all time - was born in Sheffield, England in 1944. He is famous for his unique, gritty voice and remarkable live performances with their idiosyncratic arm movements. His first major hit in the US was a cover of 'With a Little Help from my Friends' in 1968, which has remained a Cocker classic. He continues to perform and record to this day.

I know this might seem strange but according to Sondheim.org an actor by the name of Ed Sanders has been cast as Tobias in the big screen adaptation of Sweeney Todd. On looking up the name at IMDB the only likely person was Ed Sanders who's a member of the design team on hit US tv show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. He had a role in Sky One series Dream Team and has done various presenting jobs including Celebrity Fear Factor UK. According to Sondheim.org he was part of the National Youth Theatre. So on this evidence he seems the most plausible person to have been cast.

I think the person playing Tobias is going to be a little boy so I am doubtful he is the man you think he is.
Posted 13 February 2007 - 05:25 PM
An actor friend of mine said the casting breakdown for Tobias was someone around 17 years of age. I guess they're looking for some young unknown for the role.
Posted 13 February 2007 - 07:07 PM
Well I'm only going by the information from Sondheim.org.

The second photo shows the problem, the white elbow came off the gray tube that has the float.
Undo the other part of the elbow so that the white tubing is out of the way and remove the float assembly and then you can undo the nut and put white nut on the bottom part of the elbow over the gray tube and then re attach the two to the elbow making sure that the nut is tight on the elbow and put it back into the brine well and re attach the 3/8 white tubing to the elbow and you should be good to go.
The water was not controlled into the salt tank with that elbow apart like the photo showed.

IN A CULTURE permeated by the reality of "It's all about ME!" young people are discouraged from making permanent commitments to each other and starting families.
That's the assertion of Johann Christoph Arnold, senior pastor of the Woodcrest Bruderhof community in Rifton, who, this month, released the book, "Why Children Matter," published by Plough Inc., the community's press.
The Woodcrest Bruderhoff community in Rifton is one of five Bruderhof communities located in the Mid-Hudson Valley, and one of 23 other communities located in New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, and three other continents
In a pre-publication interview with the Daily Freeman, Arnold and his wife, Verena, spoke openly and joyfully about the rewards, and acknowledged the tribulations, and sometimes downright sorrow, that children can bring into people's lives.
The couple has been married for 46 years and has eight children and 36 grandchildren.
The slim, spiral-bound book has 63 pages and 22 chapters. Every chapter begins with a citation from the Bible that sets its tone. The chapters are short, one to two pages, and readily approachable.
Each chapter considers what, today, might be scorned by some as "old-fashioned values": discipline, spoiling a child, building character, consideration of others.
When asked about such old-fashioned notions, Arnold threw back his head and laughed heartily.
"Thank you! I consider that a great compliment!" Arnold said. "Maybe I'm an old fart, but we need more of us to get back to sanity," he said, observing, "The truth never changes.
"Deep, deep down, we long for time-tested views that we once held precious."
A graduate of Kingston High School, class of 1959, Arnold is the grandson of Eberhard Arnold, who founded the Bruderhof community in 1920. His grandfather spent the last two years of his life suffering from a leg injury that would lead to his death, while attempting to shepherd his flock to safety just as the Nazis were gaining ascendancy. Nevertheless, he remained active in traveling, lecturing and writing until his death in Darmstadt in 1935.
Arnold was born in 1940 to the German refugee family then living in England. Driven from Germany by the Nazis, his parents and other members of the community fled on foot, by bicycle and bus to England where they regrouped on a farm, facing nightly bombing raids and fears of a German invasion at any time.
However, when the British government determined that all German nationals living in England would be imprisoned, Arnold's parents and other community members left, braving the submarine infested oceans, for South America.
Arnold grew up in Paraguay, living a simple life, but the community was able to establish hospital care for Paraguayans, orphans and displaced Europeans.
At 14, Arnold moved with his family to New York and it's been his home since. Arnold, during his teens, determined to dedicate his life to the same vision his parents and grandparents held. It was the '60s, the time of the Civil Rights Movement, and Arnold marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., visited his home and called him "friend."
"I saw forgiveness preached and lived powerfully. It impacted me for life," Arnold said.
Arnold is a fearless critic of contemporary social mores and in demand as a speaker on talk shows and at high schools and colleges. He advocates a consistent reverence for life and opposes violence in any form.
The Arnolds together have offered more than 30 years of family counseling, advising thousands of couples, single women and men, teenagers, inmates and veterans, as well as pastoral care for the terminally ill and their families.
Following the teachings of Jesus, as interpreted by his grandfather, Arnold is senior pastor of the Bruderhof, an international communal movement that practices forgiveness, non-violence, simplicity, service and sharing.
"Children," Arnold said about the book, "were always in my heart from the start of our marriage."
"It's teamwork," Verena said, quietly. "Not just proofreading the book, which I did, but everything."
Arnold said he had been thinking of ways to make the lives of the children of Ulster County better, and got to writing the book. It took him about a year to complete.
"I just let it flow," Arnold explained. "What made the most sense were the headings above each chapter that organized it."
Furthermore, Arnold said, his purpose was to encourage families, parents, grandparents and those working with children, to have hope in the future.
"Every community needs children," Arnold said simply. "Young families today are discouraged, they don't have the courage to start a family. Yet, it's something they must do for the nation, for the future."
Arnold said his personal, religious belief is that families are too isolated.
"Children need to get out, to relate to people, in old age homes, to see that some people are having a hard time of it," he said. "Children need to see the real world."
Again professing his faith, Arnold pointed out, "God expects something of us." He pointed to the life - and - death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "He lived and died for something."�
Children who have every material thing are not necessarily happier, Arnold said.
"Parents are so busy today they think buying their children 'things' is paramount," he said, shaking his head. Reflecting on his own simple childhood, he said sometimes the less children have, the better off they are.
Arnold said in his visits to Africa, Northern Ireland, Israel, Gaza, Cuba, he witnessed children who had "absolutely" nothing.
"Yet, they were happy. They had a sense of community, that the family was very important," Arnold said.
"These families related to each other. They invented ways to spend time together," he said.
"From the time they were in the cradle, one year old, the children knew their parents loved them," Verena said.
And, time, is so important for children, Arnold said. "Children need free time, time to play, to be children. A child who plays well will grow up to be a thoughtful adult."
And, every child, Arnold maintained, has a conscience from a very young age.
"Children have a little voice inside them, even from very little, that tells them right from wrong," he said. "Children must be guided to listen to that voice."
Asked bluntly, why faith? Why God? Arnold said gently, but firmly, "Every person is created in His image. Without God, we can't exist. He places in all of us the desire to do good in our lives, to lay down our lives for our fellow man."
Yet, Arnold said sorrowfully, "God is pushed out of our lives, out of our schools, out of our community gatherings. We can't use the 'G' word or the 'J' word in public."
Arnold said it's his hope and prayer that Americans will rediscover God and hear his voice again.
"We are a nation built on God. We need to find him again, to put our trust in him. Like the $1 bill says," he said.
When asked, Arnold then delved delicately and tactfully into what has become a touchy matter for the public face of the Bruderhof community: its insistence on the traditional definition of "family."
"The ideal 'family' for a child is a father and a mother," Arnold said. "But, that's the ideal and in the world today that is not always possible. There are many single parents who really try to do the best they can in a hard situation."
Arnold said he wrote the book for children and children are still his concern.
"Parents need to talk to their children about honoring their fathers and mothers," Arnold said. "They need to learn to respect authority, and that starts with the father," he said.
But families, parents need to be encouraged to be there for one another, Arnold said. "Be kind to each other. Hug each other," he urged. "The children will benefit," he said.
"Everyone longs for family," Arnold said. "It's a universal longing.
"People can do so much by caring. We need to care for our children, they're our future," Arnold said. "One kind act - even if we never see the results ourselves - can change a life."
"Why Children Matter" is available free on the Bruderhof website where it can be downloaded or free copies may be requested.

7 Best Waterproof Mascaras -- and the 3 Worst
Brave the rain and those sappy rom-coms with one of these best waterproof mascaras. Just steer clear of the worst ones on this list
Why it's great: Readers who have oily skin, live in humid climates (or both!) say this is the waterproof formula to beat. One reader says how it worked best for her lifestyle:
"Being an emergency room nurse and running full tilt for a 12-hour shift in the steamy and sometimes outrageously hot Texas summer, I had to find a mascara that worked as hard as I did without leaving me raccoon-eyed at the end of my shift! This is it � and on top of that it was pretty easy to wash off before I crashed into clean sheets and slept. So if you're looking for a mascara that stays on, makes your lashes full and long and cleans easily, this is the one to try!!!" -- over40beauty, TotalBeauty.com Member

I absolutely LOVE the Revlon HD waterproof mascara!!! That other one (Revlon Flashpoint I think) didn't do well in the survey but the new HD one is really good. I don't have to retouch it all day and I'm a musician and I have really long days (and nights!) I don't wear false lashes so I don't know how it works for those but it makes mine look dark and full without excessive clumping. Love it!!

I'm surprised that Blinc mascara wasn't on the list. I love the stuff, even though it tends to clump if you don't separate them with a metal lash comb, but it stays and stays and stays, I love it.

Technical Assistance for HRSA-14-101 – Maternal, Infant & Early Childhood Home Visiting: Nonprofit Organizations
The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program facilitates collaboration and partnership at the federal, state, and community levels to improve health and development outcomes for at-risk children through evidence-based home visiting programs.
The statutory purposes of the program are to (1) strengthen and improve the programs and activities carried out under Title V of the Social Security Act; (2) improve coordination of services for at-risk communities; and (3) identify and provide comprehensive services to improve outcomes for families who reside in at-risk communities.
MIECHV includes grants to states and six jurisdictions; and grants to Indian Tribes, Tribal Organizations, and Urban Indian Organizations. The legislation requires that grantees demonstrate improvement among eligible families participating in the program in six benchmark areas:
MIECHV is an evidence-based policy initiative and the authorizing legislation requires that the majority of grant funds be spent on programs to implement evidence-based home visiting models. Currently, 14 home visiting models meet the HHS criteria for evidence-based home visiting. Additionally, up to 25 percent may be spent on promising approaches that must be rigorously evaluated.
MIECHV is authorized under the Social Security Act, Title V, Section 511 (42 USC 711), as amended by Section 2951 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. No. 111-148).
The Tribal MIECHV program mirrors the state program to the greatest extent practicable. The goal of the program is to support the development of happy, healthy, and successful American Indian and Alaska Native children and families through a coordinated home visiting system. The MIECHV tribal grants are administered by ACF.
For more information about the Tribal MIECHV program, please see: Affordable Care Act Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) and Tribal MIECHV
The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Evaluation (MIHOPE) is the legislatively mandated evaluation of the MIECHV program. The evaluation uses a randomized controlled design to determine what difference the home visiting program makes in a wide range of outcomes. The evaluation will also (1) examine how the program models operate in local and state contexts and describe the families who participate, and (2) provide an economic analysis to examine the financial costs of operating the programs. A special goal of this study is to inform the field about the types of program features that might lead to even greater impacts on families.
For more information about the MIHOPE study, please see: Mother and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation (MIHOPE)
The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program provides technical assistance to support grantee efforts to administer programs or activities conducted with grant funds. For additional information about technical assistance for the MIECHV program, please visit the MIECHV Technical Assistance web page.
The Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program legislation mandates that home visiting programs be implemented within a comprehensive early childhood system. The Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems (ECCS) program helps to develop and improve such programs, which building the health and promote the optimal development of all children.

The Purple Devils trailed 17-14 after the first quarter, but fought back to take a 34-31 halftime lead.
By the end of the third quarter, Ragland's lead was up to six points at 48-42.
They won by three, 60-57.
Cody Jones was one point away from giving Ragland four players in double figures as he netted nine points. Devane Brewster scored four points while Jacob Brewster added three points.
Ragland coach Andy Eden said it was a big win for the team to finish out the regular season against a very good Hokes Bluff team.
"Our defensive pressure helped create turnovers," Eden said. "Offensively, we shot the ball well."
Ragland 61, Donoho 43
In the opening round of the area tournament, the Purple Devils advanced to the tournament finals with a 61-43 victory over Donoho. They improved to 23-6 overall.
It was a slow start for Ragland as they fell behind 5-0, and Cody Jones picked up two fouls before the game was two minutes old. He sat for the remainder of the first half.
After falling behind 5-0, Ragland finished the quarter on a 16-5 run to make it 16-10 after the first quarter.
Halfway through the second quarter, the Purple Devils enjoyed a double-digit lead at 24-14. Ragland finished the quarter on an 8-0 run to make the halftime score 32-14.
The damage had been done in the first half as the two teams were even in the second half at 29-29. The final score was 61-43.
Leading Ragland was Brock with 19 points. Jacob Brewster and Jones scored nine points each while Lindsay totaled seven points. Gardner finished the game with six points while Trez Carson had five points. Jaylen Brewster and brother Devane Brewster had two points each.
Ragland 61, Sacred Heart 51
The third meeting between these two teams was just like the first two. Intense and down to the wire. The outcome of this game was also like the first two — a Ragland win.
Ragland was up by seven points at halftime, and still up 39-33 headed into the fourth quarter.
When Brock stole the ball, and hit a lay-up, it gave the Purple Devils a double-digit lead at 46-35. They went on to win the game 61-51.
Three Ragland players scored in double figures as Jones scored 16 points, Lindsay scored 15 points and Brock scored 10 points. Devane Brewster added eight points while Jacob Brewster had seven points. Jaylen Brewster totaled five points.

Kendall wants to roll Prairie Parkway funds into improvements on Route 47
By Steve Lord firstname.lastname@example.com January 15, 2013 1:28PM
The Prairie Parkway originally was proposed to cut into the heart of Kendall County. But the federal government has declared the project dead, and Kendall County now wants to get a share of money that was dedicated for the roadway. | File photo
Updated: February 17, 2013 6:29AM
YORKVILLE — Kendall County wants to make sure it gets a share of the funding once allocated for the proposed Prairie Parkway.
The County Board voted Tuesday to send a letter requesting an immediate meeting with the state to discuss how Prairie Parkway funding will be shifted to Route 47.
The board is concerned that plans to spend the money have not taken Kendall County's needs into account.
"I think we should move in a hurry," said board Chairman John Shaw. "This was sort of dropped in our lap at the last minute."
Shaw had a letter drafted and ready to go to Paul Loete, deputy director of highways for IDOT's 3rd District in Ottawa.
The letter asks Loete to have a "frank discussion" with the board about "the best way to serve the constituents of this region."
The most immediate concern is that IDOT is moving quickly to spend the money on two contracts for improvements along Route 47 near Morris, in Grundy County, and then from the county line with Grundy to Caton Farm Road in Kendall.
Fran Klaas, Kendall's county engineer, said the state might be ready to let bids for the section from the county line with Grundy to Interstate 80 by next year.
And Sugar Grove is lobbying for some of the money to create a full interchange at Route 47 and Interstate 88.
Kendall officials think the money might be better spent on Route 47 between Kennedy Road in Yorkville to Cross Street in Sugar Grove.
The improvements at I-80 in Morris were actually part of the original Prairie Parkway project, a proposed 37-mile highway between I-80 and I-88, through western Kane, Kendall and Grundy counties.
Last year, a Federal Highway Administration decision all but killed the Prairie Parkway project, at least for the foreseeable future.
In the 2005 federal transportation bill, then U.S. Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert of Yorkville, who represented the Fox Valley in Congress for two decades, got $207 million earmarked for the parkway. Since then, the state has spent about $70 million in both state and federal funds protecting the Prairie Parkway corridor and purchasing about 250 acres in the region.
When the Federal Highway Administration rescinded its Prairie Parkway funding decision, it did say money for Route 47 still could be spent.
"Up until this past fall, most people believed we could only spend that on the section between Caton Farm Road and I-80," Klaas said. "But that recision (by the FHA) opened up another door. It's going to take some political will to take the next step. There are a lot of things in play."
Kendall officials said they only became aware of the funding possibilities last week, after hearing a report from the county's liaison with the Kane-Kendall Council of Mayors, which funnels federal transportation money into area projects.
One of the things in play for Kendall officials is that section between Kennedy Road and Cross Street, where Klaas pointed out the state's own figures show three to four times as much traffic as the section between I-80 and Caton Farm Road.
IDOT traffic maps show the average daily traffic on the southern end at about 5,000 a day, compared to 15,000 to 20,000 a day north of Yorkville
"I think we would be remiss if we didn't look at north (of Yorkville)," said County Board member Amy Cesich. "At least it would keep it where it's needed the most."
Board member Matt Prochaska suggested the county send a copy of the letter to every area state legislator, area congressmen and to the chairmen of the Illinois House and Senate transportation committees.

We all know that certain chemicals in everyday products are harmful: mercury and lead, just to name a couple. But how harmful, and what can we do about it?
A landmark new bill has been introduced in Congress that addresses toxins in products that most Americans use every day, from shampoo to toilet cleaners. The bill was introduced in April by Senator Frank R Lautenberg, who chairs the Senate Subcommittee on Superfund, Toxics and Environmental Health. It is an overhaul of the "Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976" (TSCA), an antiquated law that in its current state leaves most Americans at risk of exposure to toxic chemicals.
Senator Lautenberg states: "America's system for regulating industrial chemicals is broken. Parents are afraid because hundreds of untested chemicals are found in their children's bodies. EPA does not have the tools to act on dangerous chemicals, and the chemical industry has asked for stronger laws so that their customers are assured their products are safe." This Act will "empower EPA to get tough on toxic chemicals."
Momentum is also building to make companies more accountable for the chemicals that they put in their products. More studies are popping up linking these chemicals to certain health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease, reproductive problems... the list goes on.
One such chemical that has gained extensive media coverage is BPA, or bisphenol A, a chemical found in hard, clear plastics and most cans containing foods or beverages. Media outlets extensively reported on the effects of BPA in baby bottles. But the chemical has proven harmful to adults as well. A study of more than 1,400 people ages 18 to 74 "found that those with the largest amount of BPA in their urine had nearly three times the risk of heart disease and more than twice the risk of diabetes as those who had the lowest levels." In addition, scientists found that BPA levels that are only one-fifth the "safe" dose established by the FDA trigger an alarming release of insulin in the pancreatic cells of mice. Higher levels lead to pre-diabetes or insulin resistance, says Frederick vom Saal, a biologist at the University of Missouri. BPA also suppresses the release of a hormone from fat cells that normally protects against diabetes and heart disease.
And that is just one example. There is now a movement to make the public aware of what they are consuming and the potential effects on their health. Sites such as www.healthystuff.org and www.saferchemicals.org have gained in popularity. Consumers are beginning to boycott products with chemicals such as BPA, which has led to a large shift in some manufacturers' practices and products. Even CNN's Dr Sanjay Gupta has joined the discussion in Toxic America, investigating some of the toxins that companies are releasing into our environment while producing these products, which in turn affect us as well.
Until now, the government has turned an almost blind eye, using decades-old research to determine "safe" levels of toxins in products. The introduction of this bill brings hope to many who have been on the crusade to see practice changed. Says healthystuff.org, "These reforms would phase out the most dangerous chemicals from the manufacturing process; require industry to take responsibility for the safety of their products; and use the best science to protect vulnerable groups."

text: Tom Bechman Teachable Moment to Understand Why Soil Types Matter In some counties if you know the soil type, you can guess the corn yield. Published on: Sep 24, 2012 If soil type ever mattered, it mattered this year. Soils which allowed plants to run out of moisture first, and which left them to swelter on hot days typically produced little, if any corn. Within the same field other soil types may have raised 100 to 150 bushels per acre. It's one reason yield monitors jumped all over the board on the same pass through the field this fall on many farms in many fields. Take a look at these soil pit profiles. These are holes dug four feet deep that reveal properties of the soil. These holes were used for various competitions this fall to teach soils evaluation to 4-H and FFA students.In some counties if you know the soil type, you can guess the corn yield. Some general rules apply. Dark gray or light gray colors tend to indicate drainage problems. In a normal year this may be ground that floods out if it's in a low position. This year it may be where the yield monitor recorded the highest yield. Brown colors typically indicate better drainage. However, if there is a limiting layer, such as till so dense roots can't penetrate, then the crop may have performed poorly. Here's a look at key properties in certain soils that could have affected crops on these soils this year. Less than perfect drainageThis soil is on a strong slope, and should be well drained, but it's not. The presence of gray mixed with the brown in the top 18 inches indicates somewhat poor drainage. However, the soil below is so dense that roots still may not have lasted very long before running out of water if this field was in corn. It was in wheat, so the wheat crop was able to mature before drought set in.Down by the creekHere's a dark gray, poorly drained flood plain. It's located near a natural drainage way. The dark gray color indicates drainage problems. Some of the better corn yields were in fields like these along creeks, as long as the soil was poorly or somewhat poorly drained. Flood plain soils can also be moderately well or even well drained.Evaluate the soilJudgers determine drainage and slope to know how to handle the soil best. They also need to know color and texture, and whether there is a limiting layer that could prevent root growth.Notice the tileTile in the soil isn't always the sign of poor drainage, because tile lines may cross through better drained soils. In this case, however, the soil is poorly drained. Note the dark gray colors in the subsoil.Check the landformNotice the low spot where the pit is dug. This is called a depression, and soils there are usually poorly drained. These students found gray soils, indicating poor drainage. Corn would have likely performed well there this year.Hard for rootsNote the layers and bright, brown clay-based soils in the middle of the rulers. This represents dense till and starts at about 15 inches. That means the plants would have had only 15 inches of topsoil to work with this year, and would have likely not fared well.Fooler!This pit shows light gray, poorly drained soils, which should have held moisture well. However, at about 30 inches it switches to dense till, which would be hard for roots to penetrate. It's probably also why the soil over the years has held water in the top couple of feet, causing poor drainage. Located in a depression, this unusual hole left no place for the water to go.
